I'm still happy with my iPhone 4. It's not as snappy as it use to be, and I had to replace the battery last year, but it's still good enough for my needs.

I'll see what the iPhone 6 or the Nexus 5 have to offer, but if they won't radically change my day to day use, why bother upgrading?

I had an iPhone 4 until a few weeks ago, much in the same mindset as yourself. Though it can do 99% of what the 5 does, the speed difference really makes it feel like a completely different experience. Also the new screen has a much better aspect ratio for watching videos. It sounds silly, but that was my experience. If you're due for an upgrade I would highly recommend it. I promise I don't work for Apple :)

Using iOS7 beta with painfully slow animations on my brand new iPhone 5, I have a feeling that iPhone 6 will make iOS7 fly, giving me a good reason to upgrade.

I'm waiting for the Fall releases. I love the iPhone, but I'm not a huge fan of iOS.

If Google doesn't come out with some compelling hardware (through motorola or otherwise), I'll definitely get the new iPhone.
